If I look at this search, you are in your Downloads folder and searching from
there. The search box is giving you the "extra options", the "type", "date",
"rating" and "tags", that says dolphin thinks that baloo has indexed the
folder.

Can be that this is where things are going wrong, dolphin thinks that baloo has
indexed the folder and it will ask baloo to give the results. You can have a
look with a command line:
    baloosearch pdf
to see if baloo can find the pdf files.

What might be happening is you have a symlink from your home directory to an
"external" disc that is holding your downloads. That will mess up baloo as it
doesn't follow symlinks when indexing. There's a summary of this issue in Bug
447119, Case 3
